Post fond memories of the USA before Obama ruined it with his stupid face

I was not one of the angy ones, I voted for Bush when he ran for re-election, you seem to assume alot. While I do agree some went too far with their attacks on Bush it is nothing compaired to what I have seen from Cons in the last couple of years and would remind you that if you think attacking the President over everything he does is wrong then it would be hypocrtical to turn around and do the same thing on a regular basis when the shoe is on the other foot.

 

I can remember .24 cents per gallon under Nixon during some gas wars in Texas back in the ancient day. My Father used to tell me gas was routinely 9 - 13 cents per gallon in the 1930's and 1940's. What is the point you were trying to make? By the time Reagan was president, we'd already had two big rounds of gigantic oil price increases, thanks to all the phony "oil shortage" lies and bull****, remember? eekeyes: -- Omigod! If we don't double oil prices right now, there won't be any oil left in 20 years!). 1973 and 1979. I remember them well... so, .89 cents per gallon under Reagan was pretty damn good....

BTW, I wish we could have a man as smart, ethical, experienced, and wise as Truman in the White House today. I don't see the equal of Harry Truman in the ranks of either socialist Libocrats or RINO Republicans today... and that will be all we'll have to chose from until the "Republican Party" finally implodes and goes away, leaving us with nothing but one variety of socialist or another for decades to come.

Hey, the Europeans have had nothing but Socialists in power for decades, and look what they are paying for gasoline! By the time Barack, Hillary, and Michelle (!) have finished mangling the energy sectors, we, too, can be paying $10.00, or more, for a gallon of gas! Right now in Germany you'll pay €1.506 for a liter of lower-octane regular, so, for a gallon of gasoline, you'll pay the equivalient of $8.31! Today! Oh, happy day! We'll be there soon!

 

Oh, yeah, but all the hyperlibs run around in circles with their hair on fire, screaming that we must shut down all the coal-fired energy plants because (GASP!) carbon dioxide is .04% of the Earth's atmosphere! Let's burn corn, grass, and cow dung for energy, and build more nuclear power plants, too, because even though carbon dioxide is an organic compound that is necessary for life on Earth, and even though it makes up less than one-half of one percent of the atmosphere, we've got to hurry up and "go Green", no matter how much it costs!

Oh, BTW, as an aside to the poster who bellyached that gasoline prices went up the most under Reagan -- what planet were you living on during the Reagan years? The colossal price increases for oil (hence, gasoline) were in 1973, and in 1979. Don't take my word for it, read this from Forbes: http://www.forbes.com/sites/briando...ne-prices-to-decline-do-as-ronald-reagan-did/

 

Oh well. I guess we just have to live with ignorance in the white people.

 

We really don't need your cynical anti-American personal projections of self-loathing and inferiority here, thanks.

 

This all started before Obama came around.
I remember when an honest pay for honest work actually meant something

 

Federal regulations cover more than 1 locality. It covers the whole USA. No one wants burning rivers anywhere in the USA because you want to maximize your profit.

 

How bout some actual facts, instead of political gibberish

 

Taxcutter says:
Back in World War II the Houston Ship Channel caught fire ONCE. Since this was during a period of constitutionally declared war, and those pesky Nazis were sinking tankers in the Gulf of Mexico and along the Atlantic seaboard, environmental regulations would probably have been suspended. FDR suspended bigger things.

So for a couple of brief fires, years before, the EPA promulgates regulations that kill hundreds of thousands (maybe millions) of good-paying (many union) jobs. It's like using a tactical nuke to kill a mouse. It wasn't worth it.

And, of course, we see another poster ignorant of the fact that 40 CFR 52.21 would not have done a thing about river fires.

Profits are unchanged since 40 CFR 52.21 came along. The costs got passed on to the consumer. It cases where it could not be passed on, the company went bust or moved offshore. Your envy is mindless.


BTW, Re Post #103:
Corn, grass, and cow dung all contain carbon and when oxidized emit carbon dioxide.

Clearly, gibberish and mindless slogans are all he has.

 

"Post fond memories of the USA before Obama ruined it with his stupid face"

He has fully accomplished his goal of ruining it for conservatives. But for blacks, the USA has become a utopia.

 

A cost that is well worth it.

 

Which means not what you wrote.According to what you posted that is proof
that Since President Obama assumed office { His father was s citizen of Kenya }
It caused a majority of Americans { Conservatives are the bulk of this
Country accounting for around 40% of the electorate as opposed to 21% for
Liberals and 35% for Moderates.According to Gallup tracking from 2008-2012 }
to lose their mind { go " moonbat crazy " }
Now why would a President cause a majority of the electorate to go bat crazy.
There must be a good reason. It wasn't because he's lefthanded and signs his
name like some 5th grader.

 

Here's another one.

Before 2009, we had gas cans that flowed smoothly. The ones sold today - redesigned to meet EPA regs - flow raggedly, and cost twice as much as the old vented gas cans.

 

... and we used to not have spiral CFL bulbs, catalytic converters to steal MPG and HP, or seatbelts.

 

...... like I said, the POTUS has nothing to do with gas prices.

 

Brought tears to my eyes - but the question is, what were the tears about.

 

Well, if we can spend $4 Trillion on illegality in Iraq and Afghanistan, then we can spend $1 Trillion in a public/private sector joint, transforming our economy for eons to come. People want to know what government can do. Well, this is one of those areas where government can lead the private sector into a mutually beneficial relationship that just happens to be beneficial to all citizens as well - not to mention our environment. It would be the best $1 Trillion investment the taxpayer has ever made to date.

Create a public/private foundation for the development of new energy technologies, staff it with the best and brightest from all the areas of technical discipline necessary to make it a reality, fund it and then let them go to work. We don't need to sit around and wait for the oil barons to get a clue - they are too oil profits soaked to ever get a clue. We are going to have to do it without them.

One shining example is Tesla. The oil sector through money at negative PR about Tesla for years, trying to generate negative public opinion. Tesla, borrowed money from the federal government and the oil sector promised the public through dirty ball PR that the government simply throw more tax dollars away on technology pixie dust that would never turn a profit for anyone because the technology was too deep into its infancy.

Elon Musk, not only paid back the government, but he did 8-9 months ahead of projected schedule. The government profited and Tesla, now moves on to produce its next ground breaking all electric vehicle while expanding the recharger infrastructure nationally to keep up with sales. Out where I live, we are starting to see the Model-S on the road with regularity and those people have killed their old fuel bills from daily commutes. Not to mention the fact that the Model-S actually looks sexy - proving that "electric car" does not have to mean boring designs. GM, could have done this eons ago, but continues to suck from the bottle of foreign oil.

It can be done - but we have to be smart on how we go about doing it.

 

You have to admit, there was a lot of truth to what was said. We do the same thing today, except that Mom is now sitting in 2.5 hours of traffic while texting the babysitter that she's going to be a couple of hours later than expected, given the overtime her slave master boss requiring her to work, while Dad spends so much time away from home working trying to make ends meet, that his children only vaguely remember what the heck he even looks like.

We've got things all twisted in a nice knot for ourselves and the question is, what will it take to untwist the knot, remove ourselves from the bondage of being economic slaves and transform the system that governs our lives and dictates how we spend the vast majority of our time each day - never being fully appreciated for the work we do.

You have to admit - things MUST change. We can't keep living like this. The wealth gap is increasing, not decreasing. We are shaping and grooming our society for a full-on Class War. We need a different kind of model for prosperity where everybody has a realistic opportunity to take part. There are too many people who are simply priced out of the American Dream, thus suffering their own version of the American Nightmare.

We need a different model that works for the common good of all, while not penalizing overachievement.

 

The U.S. Military already has developed secret High Tech. Energy Generation capabilities and this was done in order to make Direct Energy Weapon Systems mobile as unless you just want to be able to fire a Laser or Particle Beam one time powered Chemically....such Direct Energy Weapons need a LOT of power and as a LONG extension cord running from a Power Plant to a Mobile Unit is NOT in the cards...LOL!!!....Low Temp. Micro-Fusion Tech. was needed.

The existence of this U.S. D.O.E. and U.S. Military R&D Fusion Tech. was made public a while back as it was posted on a website on the Internet....then scrubbed...then put up again...then scrubbed...etc.

But when the cat is out of the bag about something like THIS....it is impossible to get the cat back in the bag.

The PROBLEM is Low Temp. Micro-Fusion Technology has so many Military specific applications it is going to take moving Heaven and Earth for the U.S. Military to allow such Fusion Tech. to be used in the Private Sector...UNLESS such Fusion Power Plants were directly under the control of both the DOE and DOD.

so what exactly is it about the mans face you hate so much?

 

gas was leaded. Some sniffed to much of the fumes.
